Shoppers in Reading were treated to a very festive musical surprise as they walked along Broad Street on Thursday.

The Reading All Steel Percussion Orchestra (RASPO) played Christmas tunes and chart toppers outside Marks and Spencer in the town centre between midday and 4pm on December 22.

The annual outdoor Calypso & Carols fundraising concert drew lots of attention from passersby as the orchestra played a series of uplifting songs including Jingle Bells, Winter Wonderland and Good King Wenceslas.

Each year the band collects money so it can provide free weekly steel orchestra lessons to young people across Reading. These are held at RASPO's home in Reading College, King's Road.
